You could always find one in the scrapyard. Cut the entire top off and put it on yours.

Reconsider. The coupe is structurally stronger as a whole and avoids the problems inherent in the t-top design: leakin' and creakin'. MY

but I want t-tops. Subframes are in the mix regardless! I just want to know because this determines if to buy this one i've been looking at w/o em but with a 5-speed tpi or to keep looking for a 305 tpi 5-speed with tees

Keep looking. The cost would no doubt be prohibitive.

If you want a t-top car then just keep looking for one
